Report suggests Everton are interested in signing 28-yr-old defender this summer – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Everton have been linked with a move for the Juventus defender Mattia de Sciglio.
According to Calciomercato, Everton and Villarreal have shown their interest in signing the full-back who was on loan at Lyon last season.
The 28-year-old impressed in France and he was a regular starter for Lyon. De Sciglio managed to make 33 appearances across all competitions for the French outfit.
The two clubs are yet to make a concrete offer for the full-back but Juventus are prepared to sell him for a fee of around €5 million.

The Toffees could certainly use a quality right back next season to compete with Seamus Coleman for the starting berth and de Sciglio could prove to be a handy option.
Lyon were linked with a permanent move for the player but the French outfit decided not to sign the player because of their financial limitations.
The 28-year-old needs to join a club where he can play regular first-team football and Everton might be able to provide him with that platform next season.
Furthermore, the asking price seems extremely reasonable and he could turn out to be a real bargain for the Toffees if he manages to adapt to English football.
The Juventus defender will be a free agent next summer and it would be wise of the Italian giants to cash in on him in the coming weeks.
